Restarting Deluge

[maxmitch]

I am using PIA vpn along with deluge to keep my torrents anonymous.

Every couple of days the port on the VPN stops being open and I have to restart the server. This then leaves about 6 hours of all the torrents being checked on Deluge and even worse some have to be partially re-downloaded. Why is this happening and what can I do to restart deluge safely?

Thank you

Don't restart the server without ensuring Deluge is shutdown.

Like this?

Code: Select all

systemctl stop deluged
systemctl stop deluge-web

If it is not gracefully shutting deluged down then yes. Check that via logs and look at service timeout etc.
